Elmer the Elephant

This week we have been looking at colours and what better way to open this topic than with Elmer the patchwork elephant?! The children listened to lots of stories about Elmer and the jokes he liked to play on his friends. Please find the link below to the original Elmer the Patchwork Elephant story.

Our activities this week involved making our very own unique Elmer the elephant. We also made a big class Elmer showing great team work, sharing and negotiation to finish it beautifully. I'm sure you'll agree the end result was great! 

Here are some of our individual creations.

And here is our great team effort. A classroom Elmer!

Team effort!

In maths this week we have been taking away one. We played games with animals determining how many would be left if one ran away, or swam away as Harbin corrected me, she was collecting some sea creatures!

Here the children are following a colour code to colour in an Elmer elephant. The children sounded out the first letter of the colours, well done RM!!!

I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a happy half term break RM, you have worked really hard this term!!

See you all on Monday 28th October for spooky Halloween week!!!
